Errr, rip off?  The funny thing is that they tried to change the colors around and removed some content to lessen the rip-off index.  Maybe Otty has a screenshot of what it looked like two weeks ago because it was even more blatant.

If that wasn’t enough, yesterday, my old colleague Dahveed Gomez-Rosado, who’s VP of User Experience at Lithium, twitter’d this:

“The most flagrant and cynical act of plagiarism I have ever witnessed in the Web. Ever: http://ow.ly/gByA“

Perhaps Kevan at his Turnit.com gig should figure out how to do anti-design-plagiarism.

Wow, two plagiarism offenders in two weeks for me!

Gracepoint After Five of course uses a modified version of the Agregado theme, which was masterfully created by Darren Hoyt and Matt Dawson of Category4. I couldn’t swallow the original pink feel of Agregado, so I tweaked the Hues in the Photoshop file they provided everyone and bam, we were good to go.  Agregado is awesome and Darren/Matt deserve all the credit.  Not us.
